Game development studio Bethesda Softworks has announced that it's got another Elder Scrolls game in the works. In fact, it's been working on the title since 2002, and will release it for a next-gen platform which hasn't been announced yet. Bethesda saw a lot of success with Morrowind, which had releases on PC and later Xbox as well as getting two expansions; the “Game of the Year” edition is also selling very well. As for specualting which platforms we will see Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion on, I doubt PC fans will be disappointed, and I am sure Microsoft will be eager to get the game on Xbox 2. If you can't wait for more news to be released, there is going to be a 12-page spread in Game Informer next month, according to the Bethesda website. Thanks to GameSpot for the heads-up.

sweet,(11:25am EST Mon Sep 13 2004)I spent countless hours on the XBOX version. Awesome open ended gameplay. One of the best RPGs I have ever been bleesed to play. I cannot wait for the new one to come out. Most likely about 3 years out though. :) - by boywonder

Aye(11:38am EST Mon Sep 13 2004)I've lost a lot of time to Bethesda's games since Daggerfall – and had a lot of CTDs with no recent save as well. I LOVE the games – not as “tight” as Baldur's Gate etc but incredible free form games. Just wish they were more stable. - by Shimmery Phil

loving it(12:24pm EST Mon Sep 13 2004)I've owned every elder scroll game and they are all great. Lots of freedom, lots to do, and lots of fun. Now hopefully this release will not have the same number of bugs to patch as Arena, and Daggerfall. - by nerdy

Thats just Great!!(12:24pm EST Mon Sep 13 2004)Another installment of Morrocrack as I like to call it, there goes my social life again. - by Mattigan

3 years my foot…(12:30pm EST Mon Sep 13 2004)Elder scrolls 3 wasnt even in development for a long time, I think 2 years if I am correct, or it was maybe 2 1/2. It doesnt matter, they have been working since 2002. My estimate is late 2005/early 2006. When it comes out, both me and my wife will lose contact with each other, as we will both be engrossed on our respective pcs for lifetimes unending… - by Happy Hacker

Hehehehe, Morrocrack is certinally right, i loved the game, i am going to be lining up for this when it comes out.- by Headley

Crashtastic(7:11am EST Tue Sep 14 2004)I tried to replay Morrowind recently after upgrading my system, because I thought it would look great on my shiny new X800XT (not to mention the fact I was hoping for less paging with a decent CPU, HD and a gig of memory – paging has always been a pain in Elder Scroll games) but I can't even get out of the custom house in Seyda Neen (sp?) without a crash now :-( - by Shimmery Phil

w00t(3:43pm EST Wed Nov 03 2004)Morrowind had such great atmosphere it was really a blast to play. I wasted days and nights becoming the Neverarine, then after that, well, got kinda dull. I made another char just to try becoming a vampire, which was great, chracter creation was a lot of fun, and each time i do it, and come out in seyda Neen, i know i still have a lot of options ahead of me, be it quests skills or items. Its a fantastic game and bethesda should be praised more often. Oblivion is going to be incredible, look at the graphics!! wow. I cant wait to engulf myself in to their new world. Hail Bethesda! - by Gong Show
